2005 marks the centenary of Russia's first revolution, the
Revolution of 1905. Hundreds were killed and injured, when on the
9th January Bloody Sunday Cossacks fired upon workers and their
families who were marching peacefully to deliver a petition to Tsar
Nicholas II in St Petersburg. This set off a wave of strikes, urban
uprisings, peasant revolts, national revolutions and mutinies
across the Russian Empire. Tsarism survived, but only after having
made significant political and social concessions, and allowing the
Russian people a dress rehearsal in Lenin's words, for the
revolutions of 1917. 1905 proved a crucial turning point in the
demise of the autocracy and the rise of a revolutionary socialism
that would shape Russia, Europe and the international system for
the rest of the twentieth century.
The centenary of the Revolution has prompted scholars to review and
reassess our understanding of 1905. Recent opportunities to access
archives throughout the former Soviet Union are yielding new
provincial perspectives, as well as fresh insights into the roles
of national and religious minorities and the parts played by
individuals, social groups, political parties and institutions. The
Russian Revolution of 1905 brings together some of the best of this
new research and reassessment. The volume includes thirteen
chapters written by leading historians from around the world,
together with an introduction from Abraham Ascher.
